Family Weekend
We stayed at the Guest House for my nieces graduation and it was perfect for our needs! Clean, spacious, and plenty of rooms for our family. The owner left us delicious cookies and we were able to check in early which was an added plus. Would definitely stay here again in the future!

Great for a family
The house was clean, comfortable and easy to host family. We came up for a wedding and celebrated a birthday at the house. There was plenty of room and the host was very welcoming. It was hard to reach her through VRBO, but she responded well to direct messages via text. I would recommend for anyone staying in the area.

Steamboat Rock Reunion
My wifeā€™s sisters and her best friend met us in Steamboat for a mini reunion! We thoroughly enjoyed the property - very comfortable and quiet! We even met the neighbors who turned out to be former neighbors of my wife & sisters when they lived on a farm near Owasa. Small world! We would happily rent this property again.

Extended family trip
This property is represented very accurately in the description and photos. There was enough room for everyone to spread out and have their own space. The kitchen was stocked well. The backyard is very large, we used it for lawn games and a campfire. Communication with the owner was great! Very nice property!

Family Reunion Fun
We came to Iowa for a family reunion. The house was perfect for what we needed (family of 6 plus my sister in law and her husband). The kids loved the downstairs area and claimed it as their own. The foosball table, mini arcade game and their own living room was a hit! Open floor plan was nice for the night everyone came over to have dinner at ā€œourā€ house. Outside was beautiful with plenty of space for the kids to run around, had several outdoor games set up for the adults. We would definitely rent again next time we are here!
